"Your Majesty, is there something wrong? Do you want us to continue to send people to assist Heizi?"

"No, I was wondering how Li Changsheng and his companions didn't encounter any villages on the road for several days from Xiaohe Village to Sankeshu Village? This doesn't make sense. The road from Shangjing to Manghuang is an official road. Aren't there post stations or villages everywhere?"

Jun Jiufeng was calculating in his heart that the distance Li Changsheng and his group had traveled from Xiaohe Village to Sankeshu Village was about two or three hundred miles. Could there be no post stations or villages in between?

Heizi said that they camped in the wilderness at night.

This made Jun Jiufeng a little suspicious. As far as she could remember, she had walked this route many years ago when she had not yet taken this position. She had the impression that these villages and post stations were one after another.

There are quite a few villages, some teahouses and taverns on the roadside, and even some markets for buying and selling goods.

Anyway, it's very lively.

Logically speaking, Li Changsheng and his companions would not live in the wilderness. They could find a village or an inn to stay in. They would not live in the wilderness.

"Li Changsheng and his men are from the advance camp. They are responsible for strangling the ferocious beasts and clearing the way for the guards. No matter how brave those ferocious beasts are, they dare not rush into crowded places. There must be more ferocious beasts in the wilderness, which makes it easier for them to strangle them..."

Su Jin understood what Jun Jiufeng said, and quickly smiled and hurriedly explained.

After her explanation, Jun Jiufeng's face seemed to look better. Then, when he saw Heizi wrote that Li Changsheng killed ten lightning wolf Gu alone with the wasp Gu, Jun Jiufeng was a little surprised.

I remember that when Li Changsheng left the palace, he had just repaired his orifices. It hasn't been long since he joined the Guard Army, but his strength has recovered so quickly?

It seems that Gu Yue Wenlin has to be more cautious. However, if the Gu Masters on the guard side were as powerful as Li Changsheng, the rule of Dayan would be as solid as a rock, and there would be no need to worry about those ferocious beasts causing trouble.

At this moment, several thoughts flashed through Jun Jiufeng's mind.

Originally, he wanted to ask Su Jin to urge Gu Yue Wenlin, but after thinking for a moment, he told Su Jin to ask Heizi to record down every detail of Li Changsheng's affairs and send them over.

Su Jin over there agreed respectfully and quickly went down to do the job.

"Meow meow!"

The tiger slave's cry made Jun Jiufeng couldn't help but smile. She saw Xiao Shunzi respectfully holding the tiger slave and putting it at Jun Jiufeng's feet. The tiger slave was also smart. He climbed onto the table and started meowing.

The cuteness of this tiger slave softened Jun Jiufeng's heart. Touching its furry hair, she seemed to feel a lot more relaxed.

She began to like Xiao Shunzi a little more, so she simply carried Hu Nu to the Imperial Garden for a walk. As there were not many people around, Jun Jiufeng simply asked Xiao Shunzi some random questions, such as how his family was doing when he entered the palace.

Then he asked him if he often left the palace and whether he knew how the people outside the palace were living.

When Xiao Shunzi heard His Majesty ask him this, he was surprised and happy.

After thinking it over, I decided not to hide anything and just told him about my situation.

"Your Majesty, I was an orphan back then. I heard that there was food, drink, a place to live, and money to be paid every month in the palace, so I came in. Because of my status as a slave, I rarely had the opportunity to leave the palace. However, I heard from several eunuchs who were in charge of purchasing that the outside of the palace was very prosperous, the people lived and worked in peace, and the public security was very good. Almost no one would pick up anything on the road..."

Xiao Shunzi recalled the words of the old eunuch in his memory.

He originally had a low status and could not even think of leaving the palace.

Now he is serving His Majesty and cannot leave the palace unless there are special circumstances. After all, if he leaves and His Majesty doesn't find anyone to look for him, no one will dare to take responsibility for him.

"Well, then when you have time, go out of the palace and see for me whether the people in the market are living and working in peace and contentment?"

Ever since Xiao Shunzi sacrificed himself to stop the assassin last time, Jun Jiufeng has begun to trust him somewhat.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

When Xiao Shunzi heard the decree, he knelt down and kowtowed to express his gratitude.

Don't underestimate Jun Jiufeng's oral order. It is not easy for a eunuch in the palace to leave the palace in a formal manner. If it were the former Xiao Shunzi, he might never be able to step out of the palace in his entire life.

Jun Jiufeng suddenly felt a little envious when she saw Xiao Shunzi's appearance, but she said nothing and went to Feisheng Pavilion with Tiger Slave in her arms.

She had to hurry up. Only if she was strong enough could she do whatever she wanted and leave the palace in a moment, but she couldn't do that yet.

After Li Changsheng was arranged to stay by Wang Jinqu, Chang Xiao and the others gathered together and discussed that since their team was moving fast and they had plenty of time, they should try to stay in the village for a while longer, sweep all the places around the village where there were ferocious beasts, and wait for the next few teams.

At the very least, the distance between the teams cannot be too far.

"Wang Jinqu said there is a second-level snake Gu here, and there is also a pine needle Gu here. There are several long-armed stone monkeys here..."

Chang Xiao was arranging everyone's tasks for tomorrow, while Li Changsheng was thinking about the place where Wang Quan mentioned the white zombie Gu was caught.

"I'll go to this forest tomorrow. Wang Quan said he caught the white zombie Gu there. I want to go and take a look. There are two white zombie Gu caught in one forest. This is a bit strange. I suspect there is a corpse breeding ground over there, otherwise there wouldn't be two white zombies!"

Li Changsheng thought that the ferocious beasts could be left to Chang Xiao and the others, and he wanted to go and see the place that Wang Quan mentioned.

Although there are many ferocious beasts in the wilderness, there have been large and small beast waves over the past few decades.

However, this time when they were traveling from Shangjing to Manghuang, they had not even gone halfway when he felt that the road was incredibly desolate. In his memory, the Great Yan Dynasty was relatively peaceful. How come this journey had become like this?

Isn’t it said that the imperial guards have been strangling the ferocious beasts all the time?

But why does it always give people a very strange feeling? Li Changsheng has always had this feeling, but he has no clue for the time being.

"Then Sun Xuanyang and I will follow you, at least we can take care of you..."

Xu Da on one side said that he would just follow Li Changsheng. Chang Xiao on the other side looked at the location Li Changsheng mentioned, clapped his thigh and said that this location was not far from those stone monkeys, so they might as well go together tomorrow.

The next day, Li Changsheng and his team set off with Wang Quan and his team.

Although it was late autumn, there was still sunshine at noon. Wang Quan wore a large cloak that almost covered all the light on his head. Even so, he still felt extremely uncomfortable. He wanted to suggest to Li Changsheng several times whether to come here at night?

But as soon as he said this, he was rejected by Li Changsheng.

"No, we have to go at noon when the sun is out. It's better to be careful..."

Li Changsheng said it casually, but he didn't expect that it would come true. This group of people almost died here.
